Chapter 444 59. Warlock Faction Strength Report·Master Swordsman scratching his head summary version
The starlight of the World Gate lit up in the Rock of Eternity. Etrigan wanted to catch up but was blocked by Mason.
He watched the A-level team disappear before his eyes. After everything calmed down, Mason looked at the devastated battlefield in front of him. It might have been filled with various collections before, but now it was mostly smashed.
He looked back at the disappointed Shazam and asked:
"Who was that girl who almost beat you up just now? Why did you help her? Is that your girlfriend?"
"It's my sister."
Shazam, full of frustration, sat down on the broken rock next to him, rubbed his eyes and said:
"She's not a biological sister, she's a member of my adopted family. Her name is Mary, but she's definitely not the Mary of our world. She also has the power of the Six Gods.
But the source is very different to me.
She must have sneaked into the Rock of Eternity with those bad guys to ambush old Jason and me here. I don't understand what happened? ”
"Calm down, young man. After working in this industry for a long time, you will always encounter time and space aliens of yourself or your relatives."
Mason comforted:
"I suggest you try to have a good relationship with that 'Magic Mary', or even win her over, but you must always remember that she is not the person you are familiar with, so don't be as merciful as this time when necessary."
"They took Black Adam."
A failed battle made the high-level demon Etrigan very unhappy. He didn't even bother to stay here and quickly returned his body to Jason Blood.
The old knight recovered his human form in the fire and said with a gloomy face:
"They came here just for Black Adam. Shazam and I failed to live up to your expectations. We should have been more vigilant."
"Let's not talk about this now."
Mason did not have many regrets about this failed sealing operation. He looked at the remaining mess around him, turned to Shazam and said:
"Take inventory and see what has been lost here?"
"There isn't much here to begin with."
Shazam, who was exhausted mentally and physically by another "black version" of his sister, cheered up and said to Mason:
"After the old wizard died, I followed his last wish and buried all his collections with him in his hometown, which was protected by the last power of the Eternal Parliament.
The only things left in the Rock of Eternity are the Eternal Throne connected to divine power, the sealed Seven Deadly Sins, and the Meditation Mite, an evil insect from Venus.
Now both of those things have been taken away by those bastards.
They have the means to manipulate them. ”
"Hmm, so this isn't just a rescue operation, it's a plunder operation."
Mason rubbed his chin and said:
"It seems that this A-class member has a good way of doing things. After realizing that the Green Church of All Things plan failed, he quickly moved the battlefield and set up this plan in a short time and successfully executed it.
He even calculated the probability of reinforcements arriving and prepared a world gate in advance that would be undisturbed and untraceable.
It’s not easy to deal with. ”
"He's a bastard of a warlock!"
Harry said unhappily while holding the golden war hammer:
"That guy himself admitted that he is a bad guy."
"No, no, no, he said that the warlock asked him to deliver a message. He did not directly say that he served the warlock. These are two different concepts."
Mason shook his head and corrected Harry's statement, then said:
"If you are really a loyal servant, there is no need to reveal your identity so blatantly. I guess the two parties are just cooperating to a certain extent.
Clean up this place. ”
He looked around and said to his companions:
"The Rock of Eternity is a very important place where power gathers. Shazam needs to change the way he enters here to avoid the same thing happening again.
This is the source of your power. Once controlled by the enemy, the consequences will be very bad.
I have to go back to Osborne Tower quickly. If anything happens again, I'll contact you in time. ”
"Groot and I are not going back."
Rocket Raccoon stood on a broken devil stone head with his arms folded, wagging his tail and said to Mason:
"Groot has become a swamp monster in this world. He can no longer leave easily. As his good brother, I have to stay here to help him find a new home.
Ivy is actually the same.
If she accepts the power of the Green of All Things, she will no longer be able to move around the world casually. ”
"But it's okay for now."
Mason pushed the frame on the bridge of his nose and said to Poison Ivy:
"Come back to Osborne Tower with us. You need to think carefully about whether to accept this dangerous power. Maybe Harley can give you some advice."
"And the Forbidden Forest."
Ivy stroked her long green hair and sighed:
"I just planted it, and I haven't seen the first magical forest take root in the wasteland yet. I still have so many things to do. I really need to think about it seriously."
"Oh, why do you think so much?"
Harry, who was chewing gum, put his arm around his best friend's shoulders and said to her carelessly:
"This power can be transferred. You can use it to help first, and then just throw it to some unlucky person after the fight. It's not like you can't get rid of it after using it.
This is just like condoms. Although everyone uses them, it doesn't mean that everyone likes them. ”
"Well, your obscene statement made me suddenly enlightened."
Poison Ivy blinked and felt that what Harley said was absolutely correct, and then her mood improved. The sight of the two girls playing around together was quite eye-catching, but it was a pity that Mason didn't have that much time to appreciate it.
He opened a door to the world in the Rock of Eternity and returned to Osborne Tower. When he returned to his office, as expected, Lord Hunter was already waiting here.
She was always timely and quietly showed up when Mason needed her most.
"You just had a conflict with the Warlock's servants?"
Seeing Mason push the door open and come in, Shirley was not polite and asked directly:
"The Angel Team has just returned to the Star Castle. Although they didn't say anything, I knew from their embarrassed looks that they must have met you head-on.
That crazy Moon Knight is hard to deal with, right? Guess you didn't take advantage? After all, if you are a shooter and a martial arts master of that level is not killed in close combat, it is already a good fortune.
Let Batman deal with him. ”
"You seem to be familiar with them?"
Mason leaned against the window and lit a cigarette, looked at Shirley and said:
"Let me give you a brief introduction about the power of the Warlock's subordinates."
"Liana has prepared everything for you."
The hunter reached out and grabbed a document, and then threw it to Mason. She explained:
"While we were working in the world that was targeted by Brainiac, the swordsman secretly summarized the news. You know, I didn't have a seat in the Twelve-member Council before, so I don't know much about these A-class members. Not as deep as the swordsman.
I didn't care much about these things before, I just did my own work. ”
"Okay."
Mason shrugged. Considering that Ciri had been fooled around by Old A before, it made sense to only focus on her own mission. However, it was a bit surprising that the swordsman summarized the document in front of her.
That careless violent man actually has such a delicate mind?
He underestimated her.
With this thought in mind, Mason opened the file and looked at the scratching text, the corrections and confusing descriptions scrawled everywhere, and then his newly rising admiration for the swordsman was quickly shattered.
Well, you shouldn't have too much faith in that careless guy.
"Let's see."
When the hunter saw the change in Mason's expression, she knew that the documents compiled by the swordsman were not so "perfect", but she shook her head and explained to Mason:
"Those who can become A-class members are all capable guys. I guess even the warlock himself does not have a perfect understanding of these guys under his command.
What I want to remind you is, Mason, although the Grand Master is above the A-level members, there is no forced affiliation with each other. Just like the three Grand Masters have their own purposes, the A-level members also have their own ideas. and goals.
Therefore, in extreme circumstances, the people under the Warlock’s command are not impossible to win over
It's hard though. ”
"Yeah."
Mason nodded and looked through the document in his hand. He concluded as he read:
"So, the Warlock originally occupied nine seats in the Council of Twelve. After I killed Wesker and the Red Skull, you took away the two seats. Adding the three seats in the hands of the Swordsman, now he only has seven seats under his command. An A-level member?”
"It's six!"
Ciri factor’s correction:
"Look at her document carefully, Mason. The swordsman told you clearly that the 'Thunder Wizard' Shazam in the Council of Twelve is a neutral faction.
He did not join the three great mentors and has always remained neutral.
In fact, we generally believe that the old wizard Shazam represents those rogues who are unwilling to join the Council of Stars. They themselves also united and twisted into a rope to push the old wizard to the Council of Twelve to ensure their Interests will not be harmed. ”
"I've seen him."
Mason thought of his first trip to the Star Castle. He rubbed his brows and said:
"The old wizard also gave me something very powerful. Thinking about it now, the deal at that time was not equal. Maybe he saw my potential?
Or maybe it was just a random joke.
But since he remains neutral, it means that he will not participate in the invasion of my world, right? ”
"That's not necessarily the case."
The hunter shook his head and said:
"This kind of conquest of the Transcendent A-Grade world is also mixed with the internal factional struggles of the Stars Society. The power of the Cleaners will not be summoned in the early stage, so the Grand Master in charge of the battle has the right to recruit A-Grade and B-Grade members to participate in the war.
Needless to say, C-class members are just cannon fodder. They must go if the warlock asks them to.
But I guess the warlock won't use this power on the old wizard.
The other party is also a powerful spell caster. He will not be intimidated by the Warlock, but he may take the initiative to participate. It is better to pay more attention to the six A-level members who are clearly subordinate to the Warlock. ”
"'Fear', 'End', 'Lord', 'Angel', 'Pharaoh', 'Swallow'."
Mason read out the nicknames of the six A-class members. He waved the paper in his hand in pain and said:
"She only gave her name and general power characteristics, but she doesn't know who she is or what information she has. What's the use of me having such information?
Now we only know that the 'God Envoy' is the Moon Knight. His team members basically have divinity or similar powers from different sources, and they also snatched the Meditation Mite and used it as a war tool.
Swordsmen are really not suitable for collecting situations. ”
"Don't blame her. As I said just now, Class A members are very good at disguise. Even warlocks can't figure out their specific information."
Xili stood up and moved her arms, explaining:
"Actually, there is a saying that has been circulating in the Stars Association. I have told you before that all twelve A-level members are the 'reserves' of the Grand Master.
Once a Grand Master is killed, Lord Destiny will select one of the A-class members to perform his duties.
There is no precedent for the death of a Grand Master, so the credibility of this rumor is certain but not that high. However, I can tell you with certainty that if Lord Destiny really needs to select a new Grand Master, then the twelve A-class members will indeed They are the most likely to be competent, and their connection to destiny is second only to the three of us.
In addition, I also have some news to tell you about these six guys. ”
She reached for the swordsman's warlock faction strength report, pointed to the nicknames on it and said to Mason:
"The 'Master' is the Inhuman King Hive. This guy controls all the Inhuman warriors in a certain world. It does not have its own team but has an army of servants with exaggerated strength.
Anna's team had dealt with it in a certain war world, and she could confirm this.
'Pharaoh' is a spell caster who comes from a weak C-level world. He is a model who has risen to the A-level position step by step. He is proficient in all kinds of curses and magic and is obsessed with ruling. He has the most powerful members of the entire Star Club under his command. The base world with the most belongings.
He has a powerful army of mummy servants, which he strengthens with death magic and curses, and is said to have an army of monsters originating from the underworld.
He is probably the most unswervingly loyal of all the A-class members to Warlock, because he has learned many secrets of magic from Warlock, and the two have very similar personalities.
However, this ambitious guy has been obsessed with discovering the power of Death. No one knows what he wants to do. In short, the Pharaoh will definitely be our strong enemy.
There are rumors that the A-class member 'Fear' is not a person but a weapon. This guy is a direct descendant trained by the warlock. He also lives alone and leaves no one alive wherever he goes. He is a truly ruthless character.
The last one is ‘devour’.”
Xili frowned and said:
"There is very little information about this guy. I only know that he is one of the first pioneers to join the Star Society. Like the Pharaoh, he is a guy who has been promoted from an E-class member to an A-class member.
He lives alone, without a team, an army of servants, or even a base world. He can be called the most mysterious A-class member.
But there was a time when he and Wesker were very close. After Wesker was killed by you, this guy returned to his solitary state.
The relationship between him and Warlock is unknown, but he has indeed helped Warlock carry out many dangerous pioneering missions, and has maintained a quite 'perfect' pioneering record so far. ”
The hunter stopped, looked at Mason, and said:
"So the worlds he developed are all over, so there are also rumors that Devour is actually the 'executioner' that warlocks rely on most."
"Headache!"
Mason recorded the information given by Ciri and complained:
"Where did you find these weird guys? Could it be that the stars are the legendary 'freak harvesters'?"
"Speak less and think of more solutions."
Shirley patted Mason on the head and said with a straight face:
"You have to realize the seriousness of this situation. Now the warlock has declared war on me and the swordsman, and the battlefield of the three great mentors is in your world. He regards it as a means to 'clean up the civil strife', and he will use all his methods." I won’t let you or me go.
On the bright side, our five A-level personnel will also become your allies.
But the bad news is that once the development does not go smoothly, Warlock's despicable character will definitely tear up the agreement and call for the Conqueror Legion to enter. As the commander of this invasion designated by the Hope Council, he has the authority to issue an 'extermination order' '.
So you have to be prepared in advance to fight a large number of conquerors. ”
"I'll make a plan."
Mason took a deep breath, put away the message given by the swordsman, lit a cigarette and looked at the wasteland scene outside the window, silently blowing smoke rings.
The stressed look made Shiri feel the same. She put her hand on Mason's shoulder and encouraged him in this silent way.
After a few seconds, she asked:
"The Angel Team kidnapped Black Adam, but I think you don't seem to care about it at all? Were you prepared? Or..."
"Black Adam?"
Mason sneered and said:
"Who said they kidnapped Black Adam?"
He blew out a smoke ring and motioned with his eyes to Ciri to follow. The two walked out of the office and took the elevator all the way down, finally reaching the cage in the underground area of Osborne Tower.
All kinds of dangerous guys are imprisoned here, including a group of hard-core Skrulls who are unwilling to follow Mason. After seeing Mason's appearance, these guys started making noises.
The captain didn't care about their insults at all, and took Ciri all the way to the deepest part of the cage area. In a single cell, the hunter was shocked to see Black Adam who was being treated by the alchemist brothers.
The latter's injuries were extremely serious.
But the question is if the real Black Adam is here, then who did the Angel Team kidnap?
"You."
"Shh!"
Mason put his finger to his lips and made a silent gesture to the astonished Shirley. A meaningful smile appeared on his face and said:
"It's just mixed with sand, who can't do it? You see, when you have a spy force that is the best in the universe, you won't just leave them in the warehouse and let them rot, right?"
"I can't hide it!"
Xili immediately shook her head and said:
"Once they join the stars, they will be stamped with a soul curse to generate an identity card, and the envoy as the captain will immediately discover the identity of 'Black Adam'.
This is why the Stars are never afraid of Skrull infiltration. ”
"Then you have to wait until it passes through the World Gate for the second time. The time difference is enough for a good spy to get information."
Mason explains:
"Furthermore, the discovery of the divine envoy and the discovery of the warlock are two different concepts. A-level members also have their own purposes. I have given the 'invitation' and now it is time to see the reply from the divine envoy.
The worst-case scenario is that we lose a super spy, but if I were Moon Knight, I would not recklessly put everything on one side when the outcome of the war is unclear.
Smart people know that they should leave themselves a way out before doing big things.
Guess, Your Majesty the God Envoy is a smart man? "(End of Chapter)
